Why It’s Critical to Hire Professionals for a Portland Heater Repair
At some point, your heating system will need repair. The quality of this repair is critical to the healthy and sound operation of your heating system, so you want to call people who can do the job: Western Heating & Cooling. We’ve been helping customers in the Portland area with their heating repairs since 1991, so we’ve seen just about every kind of repair situation imaginable. The moment you spot the signs of a problem in your system, you should turn it off and call a heater repair technician from our team immediately.
Common signs your heater is in need of repair include:
- Strange noises: This includes hums, whirs, rattles, moans or shakes - essentially anything that doesn’t match the heater’s normal noises. In most cases, the noise will start and stop with the starting and the stopping of the furnace.
- Low heat levels: Clogged burners, breached ducts, and similar issues can lower the levels of heat the furnace puts out. Your monthly costs will go up and the strain could damage other parts of the system.
- Low airflow: The air may be nice and hot, but if it doesn’t flow from the vents swiftly enough, it will similarly lower the efficiency of the heater. Even worse, if heated air is trapped in the furnace, it may cause other components to overheat and automatically shut the system down.
- High bills: When individual components run into trouble, they could force the heater as a whole to work harder than it should, raising your monthly bills in the process. An unexpected spike in your heating costs could mean a repair issue is lingering.
- Unusual odor: If you notice a distinctive smell coming from your vents, this could be a sign of a gas leak or an excessive amount of dust build-up and should be looked at by a professional.
- Yellow burner flame: A healthy pilot light should burn blue. If your pilot flame is burning yellow, this is a sign that there is a presence of carbon monoxide in your home. If not addressed, this can cause potential health problems for you and your family.
More importantly, our heater repair experts are NATE-certified and update their education annually, so not only do we bring years of experience with us to every repair job, but we also bring the latest methods and tools to make sure your system is given the best treatment. When you need help with your heating system, call us first!
How Can I Avoid Heater Problems in the Future?
One of the most common questions we get from customers is “How can I avoid dealing with heater repairs in the future?” The answer is simply: routine maintenance. Much like your car, your heater needs to be regularly inspected and tuned up by a qualified professional in order to ensure it runs properly. Experts recommend having your heater inspected at least once a year, in the early fall. That way you can rest easy knowing your system is in top shape entering the winter season.
Some of the key benefits of routine maintenance include:
- Reduced risk of repairs
- Lower monthly energy bills
- Improved system performance
- Better air quality
